LITTLE GIRL AND BIG BEAR.
A Wee Berry Picker Attacked, anc
Saved by a Brave Dog.

A Wee Berry Picker Attacked, and
Saved by Brave Dog.
A dispatch from Phoenicia, n Y, to the
New York Herald says: Little Maggie
Curren is five years old, and is as brave as
she is pretty. Maggie lives with her lather
in Mink Hollow, in the Catskill Mountains.
When William Curren left his home this
morning to work at haying, he told his
daughter she might try and pick some
blackberries close by.
BY dinner time Maggie had large din
ner pail half full of tempting looking fruit,
when she was suddenly startled by seeing a
big bear come out from dense thicket and
come toward her. Maggie said "shoo!n a
number of times, but the bear merely
growled. Then she picked up thick stick
and hit the intruder a crack over the head.
At this point the bear caught hold of her
dress and began dragging her into the
woods
The little girl screamed Justify for help,
and it came speedily in the shape of her
fathers Watchdog Carlo. The Intelligent
animal seemed to grasp the situation at a
glance, and it attacked the bear in the rear
so as to make it drop the child Carlo bit
the brute so effectively that it was forced to
let Maggie GO and then the courageous dog
kept fighting Brain for all he was worth, SC
that the child could have a chance to run
home, and she improved it. After she got
there the whole neighborhood turned out,
and the mountain side was thoroughly
secured. Carlo was found with the blood
running down his sides, and as he wagged
his tail he seemed to say: II saved Maggie,
anyway"
The pursuit of Bruin is still being kept
up, though it is believed by all hunters that
it is hiding in cave. There isn't money
enough i'll all the Catskills to buy Carlo to-
night
The thrilling adventure is the theme OF
the countryside, and little Maggie is asked
to tell her story over and over again.

Contrasts in Frederick DoueIass's Life.

Washington Post
The announcement of the return of Freder-
lex Douglass to his home in this city suggests
that there is probably no living American who
has in his personal history experienced such ex-
traordinary vicissitudes of fortune. Born a
time when his condition in life seemed unal-
terable as the laws of the Modes and Persians
he lived not only to know the privileges of
freedom in his own case. but to see the boon
extended TO his entire
When one hears of his first efforts to learn to
read and write, one naturally wonders at the
facility and success of his subsequent literary
work and the strong eloquence of his public
speech. Indeed, his life has been full Of con-
trasts As slave he ran away-or rather sailed
away-from St Michael's, but was overhauled
and recaptured by the sheriff of Talbot county
and placed in Easton Jail. few years ago, by
invitation, he lectured in the courthouse at
Easton and the sheriff who had imprisoned him
presided at the lecture and introduced him to
the audience.
Douglass's freedom purchased by means
of fund raised in England, so that he was a
freeman long before the period of general eman-
cipation. But when speaking at Cam bridge,
some time since, his former master came to
listen TO his old-time slave, famous and
prosperous, and the contrast between the pres
emit and the past was so striking that both men
were moved to tears.
What a change indeed from the shipyard at
Baltimore and the insecure life New Bedford
to the position of prominent public official at
the capital of the Nation! And still later, what
an immense distance intervenes between the
early hardships of the slave and the serene quiet

Mark Hopkins's Lavish Expenditure.

The Cosmopoitan.
Adjoining the Stanford mansion in San Fran
cisco is the striking Norman castle of Mrs Mark
Hopkins. Her husband was the financier of the
railroad company, but he wore himself out by
constant application, and for several months be-
fore his death he had forgotten his own identity.
Just before the loss of his memory he had begun
the construction of this superb residence. One
dav his medical attendant took him to the top
of the HILL where he saw the work of building
going on, when the millionaire turned to him
and in a ouerulous tone asked: 'What Internal
fool is wasting money such house as thats'

New England girl when Dir. hopkins married
her inherited all his wealth. She still retains
her shares in the road. and her adopted son is

Correspondence London Times.
Before describing the attractions of Meran
a winter residence. I shall briefly mention the
other forms of in vogue there. Among
them this milk and whey cures are pre-eminent.
Meran cows milk is remarkable for it's excel
lence: the whey made from goats milk here is
remarkably rich in sugar. The patient who is
under milk diet gets milk alone, but he gets
plenty of it, the dose being nearly quart every
three hours. If after existing on milk for
week the patient longs for something more
substantial, he is allowed a roll or
two soaked in milk; at the end of fortnight he
is given a little meat, and after three weeks
treatment he is either quite recovered or he
ough. to be. the fault being his own if the cure
is not complete. Milk is obtainable at different
times in the year: the period Of the whey cure,
however, begins in April and ends with May.
Whey is drunk in the morning, and some min
eral water is often taken along with it. Those
persons whose cases not adapted for the
milk or whey may find benefit from kou-
miss prepared from cows milk. The dose at
quart taken two portions daily, one in the
morning and the other the afternoon,
The quantity taken ken is gradually in
perial quarts. All the forms of cure l have
named are not peculiar to Meran, though they
are pursued here in more systematic fashion
than in other places The last have to men
ton cannot be had in like perfection elsewhere.
It is plant-jui cure, and is available in the
spring only, when certain plants unfold their
first green leaves on the slopes OF the Alps. The
juice is expressed from them, and the patient
drinks it. 1t may interest the boIanist to learn
the names of the plants employed; they
Achilloea millefolium, Nasturtium aquaticum,
Rumex acetosa, Ruta graviolens, Leontodon tar
axcuin Urtica dioica and Menyanthes trifoliata.
The decoction is green in color and bitter in
taste. Cases of indigestion and poverty of blood
are said to be benefited by this cure, which is
practiced from the middle of March till the mid
die of Anrii.
